Places you just "dont get"

Reno, Nevada. It's just a pale copy of Las Vegas. Just spend the extra few hours and drive south for the real thing.

And the dealers hand deal. It's disconcerting.
 
Another vote for Thailand. Full of people looking for something which just ain't there.
 

:hmm: One of my favourite cities in Europe.

It's attractive, clean and tidy, great restaurants and bars, practically zero scumbags/junkies, less than 1 hour from Europes best skiing, a very pleasant scenic drive around the lake to Montreaux, Lausanne, Nyon, Vevey etc.

Oh, and the jet d'eau :cool:!

Horses for courses I guess, but I'd happily live there.

I find it sterile, boring and insular. Besides, the Swiss are an odd bunch.
 
I get Florence, I get Venice. I get Siena. Rome? Living off past glories that aren't really that special - for some reason the Coliseum doesn't give you anything like the sense of history that, say, Pompeii does - and otherwise dingy and depressing. And full of wankers on scooters.

Actually I don't really get Rome OR Venice. I love the rest of Italy.
 
I dont get Venice. Stinky smelly place that it is, and not in the least bit romantic. If you want canals go to Camden.
 
Panama City (Panama: at least the Florida one has a nice beach)

most charmless place I've ever been to in Latin America and it's like a mini Dubai with skyscrapers going up like mad. I guess it's a canoeing destination but you can keep in.
